STEADY ON, NIGE...

.....we`re not used to a show of passion, commitment and caring. George Burley rarely made it to the `technical area,` never mind barking instructions from the touchline.

Still, Nigel Pearson`s promptings had some effect as Saints clawed their way back from 1-0 down against the 10 men of bottom-of-the-table Scunthorpe to snatch a late equaliser thanks to a mystifying penalty decision by the officials.

Glad to see you got your right leg out of the Lucozade crate, Nige, but something is clearly causing you some pain. Maybe the realisation of the task you`ve taken on?
